Using TrueType Fonts
9. Start a command prompt session. (The Start Menu icon is usually labeled
MS-DOS Prompt or Command Prompt .)
10. At the command prompt type:
C:
<Enter>
cd \download
<Enter>
11. To load the file through the LPT1 parallel port on the computer, type the
following at the command prompt on the computer:
filename .exe -pb
<Enter>
where filename .exe is the file name you noted in step 2. This command
decompresses the file on the hard drive and copies it as a binary file into
the flash memory on the printer controller board.
To load the file through the LPT2 parallel port on the computer, enter the
following command:
filename .exe -pb2
<Enter>
12. When the software has successfully loaded into flash memory and the
printer has reset itself, set the printer power switch to O (Off).
13. Starting at step 8, page 268, repeat the “Downloading Software”
procedure. (In other words, use the two-key method to load software
again.) This ensures that all necessary code is loaded into printer
memory.
